This solitary bird is more close of a chicken species than a duck. (COOT = Foulque Poule d'eau / Fulica americana) Nice observation_____^_____

A very calming photo. I haven’t seen a coot in a few years.

coots never seem so social anyway...perhaps they don't relish the small talk...the faded colours in this scene are soothing..
